Waterloo Road could be on the verge of bringing back one of its most popular characters in series 18.
The BBC revival has made a habit of dipping back into its original cast. Angela Griffin returned as Kim Campbell, Adam Thomas’ Donte has become a central figure, and Denise Welch’s Steph Haydock is firmly back in the mix.
But change is coming. With several younger characters exiting after the series 17 finale, and a major merger looming, the cast is set for a reshuffle.
That raises the obvious question. Who comes back next? Jamie Glover’s Andrew? Or could the show be lining up a full-time return for Janeece? Right now, the latter feels increasingly likely.

Janeece’s Waterloo Road story so far
Chelsea Healey played Janeece across two major stints during the original run of Waterloo Road. She first appeared as a pupil between series 1 and 4, at the centre of some of the show’s most harrowing storylines, including the murder of Maxine Barlow.
She later returned in series 6 as a school secretary, pregnant and navigating a new chapter in her life. During that period, Janeece formed a warm relationship with Daniel Chalk, played by Mark Benton.
Janeece also made the controversial move north during Waterloo Road’s Scotland era, before eventually leaving to live in Ibiza with her mother and daughter, Cheryl.
Her most recent appearance came at the start of the revival, following Chlo’s death. Since then, fans have been waiting to see whether she would return properly. And there are growing signs that she might already be on her way back.
